Keeping food safe is crucial for a food business to prevent food poisoning. To do this, all food businesses and community groups must comply with the Food Act 1984 and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

Food poisoning can be prevented by following proper procedures during food preparation, storage and display. Personal hygiene is an important part of preventing food poisoning.

The home delivery guide provides advice to food businesses that deliver perishable foods to customers in an unrefrigerated vehicle.

Some businesses may wish to use remote temperature monitoring to ensure their stored food is safe. There are basic requirements for using these systems.
